Come, Holy Spirit, our souls inspire
Author: Rabanus Maurus, c. 776-856; John Cosin, 1594-1672 Hymnal: TIS1999 #396 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Rabanus Maurus, c. 776-856 Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, our souls inspire
and lighten with your heavenly fire;
you the anointing Spirit are,
on us your sevenfold gifts you pour.
2 Your blessèd unction from above
is comfort, life, and fire of love;
enable with perpetual light
the dullness of our blinded sight;
3 anoint and cheer our mortal face
with the abundance of your grace;
keep far our foes; give peace at home;
where you are guide no ill can come.
4 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
and you with both to be but one,
that through the ages all along
this may be our endless song:
Praise to your eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Topics: Beginning of Worship; Comfort; Divine Inspiration; Gifts of the Holy Spirit; Guidance; Healing; Holy Spirit; Invocation; Ordination; Prayer Scripture: 1 John 2:20-27 Tune Title: VENI, CREATOR SPIRITUS
Come, Holy Spirit, our souls inspire
Come, Spirit blest, Creator, come
Author: Rabanus Maurus, c. 776-856; Anon. Hymnal: TIS1999 #397 (1999) Person Name: Rabanus Maurus, c. 776-856 Lyrics: 1 Come, Spirit blest, Creator, come
from our bright heavenly throne,
come, take possession of our souls
and make them all your own.
2 For you are called the Paraclete,
best gift of God above,
the living spring, the living fire,
sweet ointment and true love.
3 And you are seven-fold in your grace,
finger of God's right hand,
his promise rightly teaching us
to speak and understand.
4 Guide our dark minds with your blest light,
with love our hearts inflame,
and with your strength which never fails,
confirm our mortal frame.
5 Far from us drive our deadly foe;
true peace unto us bring;
and through all perils lead us safe
beneath your sacred wing.
6 Through you may we the Father know,
through you the eternal Son,
and you the Spirit of them both,
Thrice-blessèd Three in One.
7 All glory to the Father be,
with his co-equal Son:
glory to you, great Paraclete,
while endless ages run. Topics: Beginning of Worship; Comfort; Divine Inspiration; Gifts of the Holy Spirit; Guidance; Healing; Holiness; Holy Spirit; Invocation; Ordination; Prayer; Revelation Scripture: 1 John 2:20-27 Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS' ORDINAL

Baptized into your name most holy
Author: Johann Jakob Rambach, 1693-1735; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: TIS1999 #481 (1999) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Person Name: Johann Jakob Rambach, 1693-1735 Lyrics: 1 Baptized into your name most holy,
O Father, Son, and Spirit, Lord,
I claim a place, though weak and lowly,
among the people you have called.
Buried with Christ and dead to sin,
I have your Spirit now within.
2 My loving Father, here you take me
henceforth to be your child and heir;
my faithful Saviour, here you make me
the fruit of all your sorrow share.
Come, Holy Spirit, comfort me
though threatening clouds around I see.
3 O faithful God, you never fail me;
your covenant surely will abide.
Let not eternal death assail me
should I transgress it on my side.
Have mercy when I come defiled;
forgive, lift up, restore your child.
4 All that I am and love most dearly,
receive it all, O Lord, from me.
Help me to make my vows sincerely
and your devoted child to be.
Let nothing that I am or own
serve any will but yours alone. Topics: Baptism; Renewal of Baptismal Vows Languages: English Tune Title: NACH EINER PRÜFUNG
Baptized into your name most holy
We limit not the truth of God
Author: George Rawson, 1807-89 Hymnal: TIS1999 #453 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Person Name: George Rawson, 1807-89 Lyrics: 1 We limit not the truth of God
to our poor reach of mind,
to notions of our day and sect,
crude, partial and confined:
no, let a new and better hope
within our hearts be stirred:
the Lord has yet more light and truth
to break forth from his word.
2 Our faithful forebears searching went
the first steps of the way;
this was the dawning, yet to grow
into this perfect day.
And grow it shall, our glorious sun
will brighter rays afford:
the Lord has yet more light and truth
to break forth from his word.
3 O Father, Son, and Spirit, send
us increase from above;
enlarge, expand all living souls
to comprehend your love;
and make us all go on to know,
with nobler powers conferred,
that you have yet more light and truth
to break forth from your word.
